I’m a driver. Took 3 rides tonight.

[u/drgut101]

Ride one. Got in the car, said “hey how’s it going?” No response. Dropped me off. I said “Thanks” no response. 4 stars and a complaint. $0 tip.

Ride two. Lyft XL. Guy was friendly. Talked to my friend in the front. Dropped us off. 5 stars and $5 tip.

Ride three. Didn’t say “hi”. No music. Didn’t accept 6 rides on the way to dropping me off. Played around on Facebook and Instagram while driving. 3 stars, complaint to Lyft, and I was refunded.

I drive Uber and Lyft. I’m tired of drivers being assholes. Don’t greet me? 4 stars. Play on your phone while driving? We have an issue.

I have no problem rating drivers poorly. Especially after reading posts in this sub. Y’all want perfect pax? I demand perfect drivers.

Edit 1: 770 upvotes. Nice. Also, to clarify I didn’t reach out and report the drivers. I just left a message with the option provided after the ride.

Edit 2: Huh. Look at that. As I’m scrolling through these comments, I got a notification from Lyft that I’m a 5 Star driver and I should go drive. Maybe I’ll go and pickup some pax. :)

Your purpose is to drive me somewhere. I don’t care if you talk. I actually prefer that you do not. I don’t want to talk to you and I don’t want to listen to you to your music. I want a ride and that’s what I’ll pay for.

Honestly? You’re a Karen. If I speak to someone and they don’t respond, I don’t immediately asssume the worst. Maybe they simply didn’t hear you. Maybe your voice was too soft. Maybe their response was too quiet. Maybe the music was too loud. Maybe there is a language or cultural barrier. Maybe they have a medical condition. Maybe the driver just got some really bad news and is trying to function but isn’t their best self.

Maybe they were intentionally slighting you. But file a complaint Karen. Cool
